addstr

Synopsis

                           w.addstr([y,x,]str[,attr])

Puts the characters in string str, with attribute attr, on w at the given coordinates ( x,y ), overwriting any previous contents. All curses functions and methods accept coordinate arguments in reverse order, with y (the row number) before x (the column number). If you omit y,x, addstr uses w’s current cursor coordinates. If you omit attr, addstr uses w’s current default attribute. In any case, addstr, when done adding the string, sets w’s current cursor coordinates to the end of the string it has added.
